Blogpoll Roundtable

1. What would it take for you to vote someone other than USC #1 in the poll? If you already are, what would it take for USC to regain the top spot on your ballot?

We’re already voting Texas ahead of USC. The fact is, they’re playing better. We’re waiting for USC to put together a dominant performance from start to finish. They’re either coasting, or flawed. A dominant win over Notre Dame would have bumped them back up. After barely escaping again, we’re not sure they’re going to win out. We’ve watched Texas and USC all year. Lately, Texas has looked like the better team. We’re hoping for a showdown in the Rose Bowl.

2. Which of the undefeateds is most likely to remain so? Who is least likely?

We think Texas is the best bet to stay undefeated, as whatever challenges were on their schedule have been safely put away. We just don't think Texas Tech can win in Austin. Period. The Ohio State night road game and the Oklahoma rivalry game were reasons to pause, but a loss now that those have passed would be a huge upset. We don’t think Alabama can remain unbeaten with Prothro out. The next to fall, though, of course, is Texas Tech. Brian's right, it's Fraud City.

3. If you were running the BCS system, would you let the computer rankings factor in margin of victory? Why or why not?

We’re strong supporters of letting computers play a prominent role in the BCS and are disappointed that the BCS is so gun-shy of them. Sure, there’s something to be said for the human element, and it’s inherently challenging to rank teams that don’t play each other. Nevertheless, a good computer system must take into account margin of victory, with diminishing returns on points run up against bad teams. In other words, after you’re up by 40 points against Rice, each successive touchdown you pile on adds little to the impressiveness of your victory. We hate that the BCS doesn’t allow margin of victory in its calculations and want to see it reinstated immediately.

These questions are part of a series of discussions for participants in the Blog Poll, which you can view here. It's just one part of what is an excellent Michigan sports blog.
